This uncommon duo offers a repertoire of tailor-made compositions for
the explosive meeting of a chromatic accordion and its diatonic cousin.
Didier Laloy (Trio Trad, S-Tres, Pantha Rhei, etc.) and Fabian Beghin
(Turlu Tursu, Jugalbandi Trio, Marie des Grenouilles, etc.) have, in
the past years, already deeply explored their own intruments.



Playing together on the same stage, these two apostles of the bellows
now celebrate the happy wedding of their extendible instruments
allowing the power of the chromatic and the vigour of the diatonic to
explode.

"(...) Belgian duo Beghin and Laloy take the accordion to new places on this
excellent release. Beghin plays chromatic (piano) accordion and Laloy
diatonic (button) accordion. The music here hints at Balkan or Celtic
or jazz, but never lingers anywhere for long. Using restless, shifting
rhythms and tonalities, they create something completely new out of old
building blocks. "Ambroise's Forest Party" starts with a Doppler effect
volume pulse and throws in a couple of breaths of the air button for
emphasis. The aptly titled "Freaks, Out!" is a rock juggernaut full of
what the pair describes as "polyrhythmies monstueuses." The
contrapuntal "Half Round" is a quietly complex piece in which melodies
weave in and around each other. There's a short, unexpected percussion
break in "November's March," a piece with a stately rhythm and a
bourdon pedal point(...)"
